Some interesting speculation here as to why Android, Google's upcoming mobile platform, won't stand a chance against Apple's iPhone, rumored to be readying a 3G version of the phone to go along with its 2.0 software upgrade release scheduled for June.
According to this piece on the Android Guys blog, Google is not establishing any parameters with developers or carriers when it comes to software developed for the new platform. While the open source community will love this, it could wreck havoc on with ordinary consumers who just want a phone to work and aren't part of the tech elite. Those ordinary consumers could end up with dodgy software that could cause them all kinds of problems.
If this is true, one has to wonder what Google are thinking in terms of what they may be unleashing on the very customers who have placed such high trust in their products.
